/**
 * BoyerMooreSearch
 *
 * This object holds the information needed to do a Collation sensitive Boyer-Moore search. It encapulates
 * the pattern, the "bad character" and "good suffix" tables, the Collator-based data needed to compute them,
 * and a reference to the text being searched.
 *
 * To do a search, you fist need to get a <code>CollData</code> object by calling <code>CollData::open</code>.
 * Then you construct a <code>BoyerMooreSearch</code> object from the <code>CollData</code> object, the pattern
 * string and the target string. Then you call the <code>search</code> method. Here's a code sample:
 *
 * <pre>
 * void boyerMooreExample(UCollator *collator, UnicodeString *pattern, UnicodeString *target)
 * {
 *     UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
 *     CollData *collData = CollData::open(collator, status);
 *
 *     if (U_FAILURE(status)) {
 *         // could not create a CollData object
 *         return;
 *     }
 *
 *     BoyerMooreSearch *search = new BoyerMooreSearch(collData, *patternString, target, status);
 *
 *     if (U_FAILURE(status)) {
 *         // could not create a BoyerMooreSearch object
 *         CollData::close(collData);
 *         return;
 *     }
 *
 *     int32_t offset = 0, start = -1, end = -1;
 *
 *     // Find all matches
 *     while (search->search(offset, start, end)) {
 *         // process the match between start and end
 *         ...
 *         // advance past the match
 *         offset = end; 
 *     }
 *
 *     // at this point, if offset == 0, there were no matches
 *     if (offset == 0) {
 *         // handle the case of no matches
 *     }
 *
 *     delete search;
 *     CollData::close(collData);
 *
 *     // CollData objects are cached, so the call to
 *     // CollData::close doesn't delete the object.
 *     // Call this if you don't need the object any more.
 *     CollData::flushCollDataCache();
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * NOTE: This is a technology preview. The final version of this API may not bear any resenblence to this API.
 *
 * Knows linitations:
 *   1) Backwards searching has not been implemented.
 *
 *   2) For Han and Hangul characters, this code ignores any Collation tailorings. In general,
 *      this isn't a problem, but in Korean locals, at strength 1, Hangul characters are tailored
 *      to be equal to Han characters with the same pronounciation. Because this code ignroes
 *      tailorings, searching for a Hangul character will not find a Han character and visa-versa.
 *
 *   3) In some cases, searching for a pattern that needs to be normalized and ends
 *      in a discontiguous contraction may fail. The only known cases of this are with
 *      the Tibetan script. For example searching for the pattern
 *      "\u0F7F\u0F80\u0F81\u0F82\u0F83\u0F84\u0F85" will fail. (This case is artificial. We've
 *      been unable to find a pratical, real-world example of this failure.)
